Unity, love and introspection are the essence of song-writing for Nick Balcombe. Hailing from the windswept landscapes of coastal southern Tasmania, Balcombe has channelled the restful lifestyle into his music, and his warming debut EP reveals a soul laid bare and a sharing of life’s wonders. Reflective, heartfelt, and truthful to the core, the tender lyrics and lilting melodies do more than just capture hearts – they invigorate minds and cradle harsh realities

I Close My Eyes, And... Is another collection of easy listening, fire-side confessions from Nick Balcombe.
Laden with warm tributes to those held in our hearts. Balcombe's velvety composition and introspective lyrics soothe both soul and mind. Yet melancholic undercurrents are unmistakable, for while Balcombe's music is a celebration of life, it is also a reminder of its impermanence, and therein lies the true depth of this first studio release.
